I'll also record a slightly different version that's more focused on the "DOS" part, and share it on our FreeDOS YouTube channel in a few weeks. A note on timezone: My presentation is at 1700. The conference is based in Belgium, so that's 1700 Belgium local time. For example, that's 10am in US/Central time. Use your favorite timezone converter to find your local time. Jim
